I would agree with you and say it is the Wittemen-Lewis NBL-1 "Barling Bomber".
Reference your questions:-
1.It is possible to print BOAC's tips.Right click on the page in question and you can undertake a print review and print. However you might find it easier to copy and paste into Wordpad and then print.
2. Some earlier pictures only show up as little x'x in little boxes. Is there a trick to seeing them? - No, it means they have been removed from their source.
3. I'm trying Photobucket, can the name of the subject be removed from the URL before posting?
- Best way is to record them in a Excel file and give them a seperate reference and store the image against that reference. Then when loading into photobucket there is no reference to the original aircraft.
4. Should you require an updated list of aircraft presented to date PM me with your email address

Woods is correct.
It is indeed the Barling bomber.
Well done.
This forum is now open to any and all ppruners to post the next cockpit challenge.
Cheers!
In 1922 it was the world's largest aircraft. Three wings. eight wheels, six engines.

BTW, Walter Barling of the bomber fame was a British expat.
The bomber fared at least a little better than the similar Tarrant Tabor which he design while in Britain. It crashed during takeoff for its first flight.

Not a JU52 Windriver.
Seems photobouquet is down which doesn't help anyone very much.
If someone wants to host it for me or post up another, please feel free.
Edit: The image is showing again
(I have edited out everything but the panel and control column. If there is no response then I will include the rest of the cabin apart from the rudder peddles which have the manufacturers name on them)

Akubra's challenge.
Well Stephen.
With so many WACO Cabin aircraft it is a little difficult to narrow this one down. I think I can definately sat that it is not a UIC,QDC,YOC and YKC.
So I will go for either a YQC-6, AGC-7 or EGC-8. If this is incorrect can you tell us the year of manufacture?
Based on your last how about the WACO SRE?

Yes it was the SRE.
I thought I would add the number produced because of the many types made over the years.
About the best Waco coding information can be found at the aerofiles.com site. Just as they state: " Ever a subject of contention, confusion, speculation, and bar-room brawls, Waco's system of codifying its planes gets somewhat clarified courtesy of Jack Wilhelm, of the Waco Historical Society, Ray Brandly, author of the definitive Waco book, and Aerofiles' own Lennart Johnsson."

Akubra. Thanks for that, as you say there are so many variants of Waco Cabin Aircraft it would have taken some elimination.
Here is the next one, a few instruments missing I am afraid but I am sure it will not last long.

Instruments appear to be in English. Looks like some orange cabling (flight test gear?) behind r/h inst panel. For the life of me I can't see any throttles for the pilots though. Could they be roof mounted? Can't see any u/c indication either. Flying boat?

Was it built in Russia, or a former Soviet Bloc country?
This one was not Russian or from the former Soviet Bloc. It is also not British nor from the USA.It is not a flying boat.

After further research,I feel I may have led you astray. The subject aircraft did have German origins which was manufactured in a country that later became part of the Soviet Bloc as well as the country that this aircraft was produced.
Well that should lead you to it straight away.
